Details
Shimonoseki is renowned for its delicious fish, including fugu. Visitors can purchase fresh fish, fugu sashimi, and sushi on-site, which are often sold at prices lower than market value and sell out quickly. A special feature of the event is the opportunity to enjoy traditional dishes such as fugu hot pot, anglerfish hot pot, and whale hot pot. The experience of eating hot pot in the refreshing morning light is considered exceptional. Since the sea breeze can be chilly, it is recommended to dress warmly before heading out.
